Feeding enrichment, bathing and grooming
The UFO shape is useful when you want to keep a treat surface in one place. Press every suction cup firmly onto a clean, flat and smooth wall, bath, floor or other suitable surface. Use a small amount of food first and check that the mat is secure before allowing your dog to begin.
During baths or grooming, the LickiMat UFO Green can give your dog a supervised licking activity while you work. It can also be used for everyday feeding enrichment or as a slow-feeder alternative for small to medium dogs, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance. Suction performance depends on the surface, so always test the grip before use.
Food ideas for the suction dog lick mat
Spread a thin layer of food through the soft nubs instead of placing a large mound in the centre. Suitable choices may include your dog’s usual wet food, soaked kibble, pet-safe plain yoghurt or kefir, cooked vegetable purée, or a pet-safe broth. Only use foods that are appropriate for your individual dog and its diet.
For a longer supervised activity, prepare the mat in advance and freeze it with a suitable food. The product is also microwave friendly, but food temperature must always be checked before serving. Introduce new foods gradually and ask your veterinarian if your dog has allergies, digestive concerns or a prescribed diet.
Size, materials and care
The green LickiMat UFO measures 18.5 cm across and 5 cm high, with an approximate weight of 250 g. It is made from natural plant-based rubber and contains no BPA, PVC, phthalates or silicone. The flexible surface and long soft nubs are designed for licking rather than chewing.
After use, wash the mat thoroughly and remove food from between the nubs and around the suction cups. It is dishwasher safe, or it can be hand washed with warm water and suitable detergent. Rinse and dry it completely before storage.
Important supervision and safety
This product is not a chew toy. Supervise every use, particularly when your dog is new to lick mats. Do not leave the mat with an unattended dog. Inspect it before and after use, and remove and replace it if any part becomes loose, torn or damaged. The LickiMat UFO may not be suitable for persistent chewers.
